There are many new or expectant parents that have long enjoyed spending time outside and being engaged in an active and sporty lifestyle. They are eager to continue with their favorite activities even after the baby is born and want to include the child whenever possible; therefore, they are often looking for a lightweight stroller that can also be used for jogging too. The Baby Jogger City Series offers just the right combination.

The Baby Jogger strollers are perfect for the mom or dad who wants to do some serious jogging while taking the baby on a bit of an outing. One of the things that all of the Baby Jogger models have is an excellent mechanism that allows it to turn easily and corner well while remaining stable so that the baby is always safe, secure and comfortable.

The Baby Jogger City Series of strollers are part of the premier line of baby products that are manufactured and distributed by the Baby Jogger Company. It was founded by Phil Baechler, who was a journalist at the time that he started the company. Baechler enjoyed jogging with his baby but found that the traditional stroller he was using wasn't really up for the task.

As a result, Baechler began working up ideas for way to modify the standard, traditional stroller and make it into something that would work better for his needs. Eventually, he ended up designing a new breed of stroller that had the right function, feel and maneuverability that made it perfect for jogging. He called his new, baby trend creation the "Baby Jogger."

The original Baby Jogger stroller was a bit hit almost immediately and soon the company followed up with an expanded model called "The Twinner," which is a double stroller, designed to accommodate two children. These jogging strollers became popular because they were very convenient to use anywhere, in just about any situation, not just for jogging.

One of the things that have set apart the Baby Jogger strollers is how easily they can be turned. All of the models of baby joggers from this innovative company are able to make easy and tight turns in stores, sidewalks, or any other location where the parent might find themselves with their youngster. It is the 6" swivel wheel in the front and the 12" wheels in the rear that help to make the Baby Jogger models so easy to navigate, even in crowded conditions.

Another innovation that is a feature of the Baby Jogger strollers is an optional conversion kit for the front wheels. With this kit, the parent can quickly and easily transform the 4-wheeled stroller into a 3-wheeled model when needed, which provides even more maneuverability and allows the parent to negotiate turns even better.

Parents seem to be enamored of the Baby Jogger City Series because of how easy it is to push, steer and collapse. Some parents do report that it is on the heavy side, but that is also a benefit because you can hang a heavy shopping bag, diaper bag, or purse from the back of it and there's no concern about it tipping over. Another feature parents like is the sun cover that extends to protect the baby's delicate skin from the sun.
